Chapter 401 The wolf is here!(1/2)
On April 1st April Fool's Day, Chen Xiao, who was at Charlotte's house, looked at the media across the United States panic because of the increase in the Bobcat's record, and Chen Xiao found it very funny.
Now the audience media in the United States are looking forward to the bobcats fighting the bucks.
But if the Bobcats rise to seventh, then the playoffs will be either the Heat or the Magic.
Although Chen Xiao’s wheat ramming and Wade are also very interesting, there is no doubt that the overall highlight is definitely not comparable.
After all, Chen Xiao and Lei Allen are the biggest hot spots in the NBA this season.
So, the entire NBA is calculating the seventh battle between the Bobcats and the Pistons.
To be honest, in the past, everyone in the Eastern Conference's first battle might have been counted. In the history of the NBA, there has probably never been such a person like this. He is the seventh in the Eastern Conference, and he looks like this.
Almost all the authoritative newspapers in hand list the remaining opponents of the Bobcats and Pistons, as well as possible winners and losses.
The Bobcats' current record is 42 wins and 31 losses, the Pistons have 42 wins and 30 losses, and the Pistons have one less game, and the two teams have the same winning game, so the Pistons have led the Bobcats by half a win.
In this case, the Pistons have 10 games left, while the Bobcats have 9 games left.
According to the divisional record and direct battle record of the two teams, if the record is the same, the Bobcats will definitely be the seventh, while the Pistons will be the eighth.
The remaining 10 opponents of the Pistons are Suns, Hornets, Heat, Magic, Pacers, Cavaliers, Raptors, Knicks, Bucks, and Wizards.
This schedule is really difficult, with the Suns, Heat, Magic, Cavaliers, Raptors, Bucks, and the nine strongest teams in the league, and the Pistons will have to hit six.
The Pistons are in danger in these six games.
Especially with the Heat, Magic, Raptors and Bucks, they are away games.
The Heat and the Magic have a second-rate battle, the Raptors have a fourth-rate battle, and the Bucks have a need to break records. The Cavaliers are Chen Xiao's sphere of influence. If Chen Xiao wants to compete for seven, the Cavaliers will definitely do their best to work on the Pistons, not to mention that the Cavaliers themselves also have a need to compete for four.
In addition to the battle between the Suns and the Spurs in the West, it is difficult for the Suns to let go.
It can be said that although the Pistons are now leading the record, in fact, this team is very dangerous.
If all six games are lost and all the remaining four games are won, the Pistons will have 4 wins and 6 losses, and the final record is 46 wins and 36 losses.
And what about the Bobcats?
The Bobcats' last nine opponents are the Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Nets, Raptors, Grizzlies, Hawks, Pacers, Knicks and Bucks.
Nine opponents are also not weak.
Among the nine strongest teams this season, there are four of the Nets, Raptors, Cavaliers and Bucks.
But it is obvious that the Cavaliers are not an insurmountable gap in front of the Bobcats among these four teams.
So, only the Nets, Raptors and Bucks are the ones who really want to do the Bobcats.
Even if the Bobcats lost all three games, even if they were defeated by the Timberwolves, fourth in the Western Conference and sixth in the Grizzlies, the Bobcats had a record of 4 wins and 5 losses in the last nine games, and the Bobcats' final record will be 46 wins and 36 losses.
The Bobcats are definitely the seventh in the East, and the Pistons are definitely the eighth in the East.
What's more, it is impossible for the Bobcats to lose all the games against the Timberwolves and Grizzlies, two teams with similar strength.
Under normal circumstances, if both of these two wins at home, the Bobcats can keep the seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
This is also the reason why many media in the United States feel like they are losing their parents.
Chen Xiao and the Bobcats have basically the first round of strength this season, whether it is sixth, seventh or eighth.
Chen Xiao can only use this traffic baby once, and the media across the United States hope to maximize their use.
The maximum utilization is Chen Xiao’s fight against Lei Allen and the Bobcats fight against Bucks.
As a business alliance, many people here only have business in their eyes, and this seems to be without any problems.
However, for the sake of my own business, it is really incredible that the Eastern Conference Battle for 7th this season is as lively as the top battle.
After defeating the Chicago Bulls at home, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players will face the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Zhan Xiao at home after a day off.
This season, Xiao Zhan is still quite strong in the Cavaliers.
Because the Cavaliers are both in the starting lineup and the substitute lineup, many people say that Chen Xiao has left a very outstanding team for Cleveland.
In addition, this season, James performed well and averaged 32 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game, so the Cavaliers can win even when they play super strong teams like the Bucks.
This season, the only team that the Cavaliers have never won is nothing but the Bobcats led by Chen Xiao.
The Cavaliers played 29 other teams in the league this season and won 28. The Bobcats lost two games in a row and never won.
Many people say that the Cavaliers' record of playing Bobcats is so touching, and the main reason is that Chen Xiao is very familiar with the Cavaliers and is too familiar with them.
Chen Xiao himself also agrees with this statement, but Chen Xiao thinks that this is the reason, but not the reason.
The real reason is that the Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown has a little poor response.
Chen Xiao is very familiar with the knights, but if you don’t have any regulations, you will definitely win. You can let the knights not be so familiar with Chen Xiao anymore.
Tactics are ever-changing, and the ever-changing tactics can also change the player's playing style and style.
But, it's just like the young general in history being knocked out by old Nelson.
Mike Brown has really not changed much.
For Mike Brown, he won't do anything to let him coach the strongest team.
This team has 100 strength, and at least he will not do it by himself and only get 80 or 90.
At the same time, he will not let the team's strength exert its combat power of 110, or even the combat power of 101.
Very rigid.
You are so rigid, exactly the same as when Chen Xiao left. Isn’t this just giving it to Chen Xiao?
Of course, Mike Brown is not a fool either. He also saw this in the failure of the first two games.
The first time, Chen Xiao scored 62 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds in the game. This was too explosive, and it was understandable that he lost.
But the second time, Chen Xiao scored 45 points and still defeated the Cavaliers with the Bobcats. This could not be any more accident.
So, even if Mike Brown is rigid, he knows to make adjustments on the third time.
So the question is, what is Mike Brown's adjustment in this third fight between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers?
It's very simple. Mike Brown gave James and Mok more pick-and-rolls, and also brought Al Jefferson to the starter.
In this way, James can pick-and-roll with all the players in the starting lineup.
Do you want to say whether this tactical change is powerful?
That was really amazing. Xiao Zhan's power was maximized by Mike Brown.
However, such a pick-and-roll is a tactical change, so do you look down on basketball too much?
But this is all Mike Brown can do.
So in this game against the Cavaliers, the last regular season game of the two teams this season, the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers 107-101.
This also allowed Chen Xiao and the Bobcats to sweep the Cavaliers this season, and it was also the only team to sweep the Cavaliers this season.
In this game, 12 of 25 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and 10 of 13 free throws. They scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the whole game. The data and performance are actually not that good. Chen Xiao's outside feels a little cool in this game.
Logically speaking, it is difficult for Bobcats to win such a game.
But against the Cavaliers, the Bobcats won.
Because under Chen Xiao's guidance, other players of the Bobcats played very well.
For example, the starting power forward made 6 of 16, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 8 free throws, and scored 18 points.
The efficiency seems to be not high, but don’t forget that he is against Xiao Zhan in this game!
At the same time, under Granger's defense, Jen Jr. made 13 of 24, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, 35 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Granger failed to defend James, but it was enough for the Bobcats, because under Chen Xiao's arrangement, Xiao Zhan did not make an explosion in this game, nor was he able to lead his teammates.
In the end, the Bobcats killed the Cavaliers at home.
If Xiao Zhan did have such a little idea of letting go in the first two fights, Xiao Zhan could be sure that he would not have such an idea in this game.
But they lost in the end, which really made Xiao Zhan and the Cavaliers a little depressed.
After all, the Cavaliers have not locked in their fourth position now. In the defeat in this game, the Cavaliers are under a lot of pressure for a while.
"Xiao Zhan, this season is your first time in your career to lead a single-core team. It is definitely different to lead a single-core team. You are no longer a general, but a marshal. Now you not only need to charge yourself and hit the best yourself, but also need to work hard for your teammates to perform best. How to balance yourself with your teammates? This is a very profound knowledge and requires you to study hard."
At the party after the competition, Chen Xiaoyu said to Xiao Zhan earnestly.
Xiao Zhan has excellent data this season, but he has not been able to fully drive the strength of his teammates. He has played out all his strength, but his teammates' strength has been compressed by him.
Simply put, I scored 100 points by myself, my teammates scored 70 points, and finally I only scored 85 points.
If you sacrifice yourself, you can only perform at most 90 points, but you can also perform at 90 points, that is, 180 points, and the average number is 90 points.
Xiao Zhan is a very smart player.
Chen Xiao understood this point. This season was his first time leading a single-core team, and he was too eager to succeed.
This often makes him only care about his own performance and ignore the needs of his teammates.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of other Cavaliers players has not been fully demonstrated this season. It seems that after Chen Xiao left, everyone seems to have become weaker.
But in fact...
